Climate Change
The BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance believe that the risks of climate change associated with increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere need to be addressed through accelerated action.
Behavioural change, innovation and technological progress are necessary to achieve emission stabilisation that will secure BMA’s future.
We will work with governments, industry and stakeholders to address the climate change challenge and implement solutions consistent with our goal of Zero Harm.

Clean coal technologies
BMA is a national leader in contributing to efforts to develop new technologies for the low emissions use of coal.
The company is a founding member and major driver of Australia's COAL21 fund that will raise an estimated $1 billion over the next ten years for research, development and commercialisation of these technologies. BMA's contribution, via a voluntary 20 cent per tonne levy on Australian coal producers, will be at least $130 million over that period based on current production and higher with increased production.
